Previous thread - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3739525 *HELP SANCTION MMA IN NEW YORK http://www.mmafacts.com  This month is the peak of the MMA drought for the year. I think the fight I'm most looking forward to is Ali Bagautinov vs. Joseph Benavidez or Stipe Miocic vs. Ben Rothwell because nothing else - not even really the LHW title fight - is doing much for me. Good luck to you all and I hope to see you on the other side of this month.

I'm not overly fond of Rashad these days either but there is no doubt that this was badass

Marching Powder posted:enough that he'd give up being a terrible fighter for an amount of money that would be regarded as obscene when viewed strictly from the standpoint of talent. he also claims to be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars thanks to the reebok deal. my theory is that schaub has a genetic mutation that causes people to give him money he in no way deserves my theory is he is full of poo poo regarding the amount of money he makes from his podcast and sponsors

Seltzer posted:He provided Rogan a list of his sponsors and what they paid him on a podcast after Dana claimed he was lying about getting screwed by the Reebok deal and it was a lot. I'm pretty sure him retiring is a combination of realizing he's going nowhere and the fact he's getting paid significantly less. I don't think he provided proof as much as just said that he makes like over 100k per fight in sponsors, did he? Also proving things to the satisfaction of Joe Rogan seems like an easy thing to do anyway.

Five Cent Deposit posted:Good stuff here. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/10/20/9547333/what-deutsche-bank-moodys-and-standard-poors-tell-us-about-the-ufc If anyone got anything out of this, I'd like to hear it. I didn't. It might become a building block later on in life when we can start getting more contract info. Here is their big stab at trying to nail down fighter pay: quote:While we can't answer this for every year we can try to make an estimate for the period covering 2005 through 2011 using our revenue totals and comments from the owners of the UFC. According to UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta in an interview with ESPN, the company had paid "more than $250 million" to the fighters during that timeframe, a total that he claims would be "not far off what the other sports leagues pay as a percentage of revenue." Also note that they weren't really even profitable until 2006 so I can't imagine them being overly anxious to start raising fighter pay before or around that point. They could try to extrapolate some info based on Couture or Wanderlei's wages and link those to the time periods in which they occurred but that might be too hard for anyone, let alone MMA journalists. I hope their future articles are better than this but I'm not holding my breath. Also Brendan Schaub is pretty demonstrably full of poo poo on at least one point now.
